Abstract

Hirayama is a form of cervical myelopathy affecting mainly young men. The cardinal features include progressive, either symmetrical or asymmetrical muscular weakness and atrophy of muscles innervated by C7-Th1 motoneurons. The application of soft daytime collar during the early stage of illness can halt the progression of illness.
